TOP STORY: Erik ten Hag wants to more full-backs at Man United, eyes Frimpong as solution
Manchester United are considering a January move for Bayer Leverkusen‘s Jeremie Frimpong, according to Sky Sports.
The news follows Erik ten Hag’s admission that he is looking for cover in the right-back and left-back positions given the high number of games United have coming up after the World Cup.
Ten Hag is mindful that while he feels current right-back Diogo Dalot continues to improve both in terms of his defending and distribution, he feels the Reds need more cover specifically in that area and on the other flank.
Moreover, Dalot’s contract runs out at the end of the current season, while United’s other right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka doesn’t appear to carry favour with the Dutch manager.

“We need two good full-backs [on the left and right] because we have a lot of games to come,” said the United boss following United’s 1-0 win against West Ham United on Sunday.
That means that Frimpong, who has scored five goals and added two assists in his 17 outings this season under Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, continues to attract interest from the red half of Manchester.
Chelsea are reportedly also keen on the coveted full-back, too.
